Merida Silex 300 Gravel Bike Glossy Black (2021) Bikes

Merida’s most comfortable and versatile road bike, the Silex makes the perfect ‘all-road’ bike, taking you wherever you feel the urge to roam. A full carbon fork is paired with a lightweight 6066 triple butted and hydroformed aluminum frame with internal cable routing and an upright gravel geometry, providing the bike with nimble, confidence-inspiring handling. The 1×11 speed Sram Apex1 drivetrain delivers an ample ratio while providing the simplicity that results in weight reduction and fewer moving parts to maintain. 700c wheels with 38mm tyres for the perfect ‘all-road’ bike which loves lanes, forest tracks and gravel are exchangeable with burlier 650B wheels and 42mm tyres for more demanding terrain. The Silex is available with a wide range of luggage and accessory options, including frame bags and big saddle bags. Fender mounts on the rear triangle and fork, transform the Silex from a fast winter training bike to a versatile commuting and touring bike.
